House rejects move to lock nine-seat Supreme Court in the Constitution
TL;DR Summary
The House voted 212-206 to defeat a proposed constitutional amendment that would fix the Supreme Court at nine justices, with all but one Democrat voting against and Rep. Don Davis the lone Democrat in support; the measure would remove Congress’s authority to resize the court, as talks of expanding the court persist inside the party ahead of future elections.
